2 performers, 30 variety acts, 1 relationship, 7 possible endings. This award-winning interactive romance is back for one weekend only with even more stories to tell.

Starting from the wildfire of initial interest and moving through the dying embers of complacency into the audience-determined unknown, the actors will use every skill they've got (including but not limited to dancing, clowning, singing, acrobatics, and drag) to take that advice and run with it. With a catalogue of 30 possible acts to choose from and 7 different ways the show can end, it's a unique story every performance. For more information visit: arson101show.com
